Jinx is broken in a bad way

Jinx's W and R dont have the same hit box anymore from the update causing you to miss shots you'd easily hit prior to the "buffs" Jinx seems weaker as well. Also when you are running from a situation or in a chase just barely in your Q's or basic attack range the animation AND sound of her attack go through but sometimes (alot of the time) the actual attack doesnt register therefore causes her to glitch cancel her attack just after the recoil animation and sound of her attack going through. What seems to be an issue is that compared to Caitlyn and Miss fortune and Graves, Jinx's range is short and unbalanced even for her Q I am main ADC Jinx and prior to the patch I was doing ok now its just gotta do with luck.

Good, she's been dominating since release, time to fuck off.

I've found the same with the auto attacks - often I'm certain I've timed my orbwalking properly, seen the animation and heard the sound, and yet the auto attack never went off.

I haven't noticed W being any different. Haven't noticed R either, but it's really hard to tell with that one because I only ever seem to shoot it cross-map or point-blank (so if I miss cross-map I blame it on my being cocky and if I hit I think it's lucky, and point blank it never misses).

Jinx is definitely weaker now though. Alongside other ADCs being a lot stronger. I'm finding it hard to think of a matchup that heavily favors Jinx now - Caitlyn and Twitch are the only ones I would say actually go in her favor and neither are strongly in her favor. At least most of her matchups are skill-based though, and moreso depend on each player's synergy with the support. What Jinx has going for her is great synergy with the tanky supports that are popular right now (laying down chompers on their feet once the support gets off the first CC - potentially follow with W as they're about to get out of chompers if necessary, typically an easy kill).

I'd hate to see what happens to Jinx if tanky supports go out of style though. There are several ADCs I'd pick over her any time with a support other than Leona/Braum/Thresh/Blitz/Naut.
